I adopted a dog! She's really sweet. Her name is Bianca and she is a 4 year old German Shepherd. I've been thinking about adopting a dog in the summer and I fostered some but it was just never quite right... She is almost exactly what I was looking for: she's had obedience training, good pedigree, hips/elbows certified, is very laid back, and likes cats. Oh, she also is used to a raw diet...I was at first looking into getting a puppy but then I decided that right now an adult, calmer already trained dog was a better idea. I still want to get a puppy in the near future though, maybe next year. I lost both my dogs this year so it has been a very tough time for me and difficult to think about another dog but it is also difficult to be without one since I had my two dogs for 11 years... This is one reason I decided to go with an adult dog because I think it would be a big shock to have a totally untrained puppy after being with two senior well trained dogs... It has still been hard for me but I am glad I adopted this dog.
I might change her name, or just shorten it to Anca... She knows commands in German so I have to remember to use the right words. I am hoping to get her into animal assisted therapy like my Golden was.
